Arbor Networks DDoS Protection

We take the security of your server seriously, which is why we have implemented an effective DDoS Protection through detection software and pre-filters.

For even more effective protection of your website (HTTP or HTTPS), we recommend using our Layer 7 protection, which allows for faster detection and filtering of DDoS attacks.

It is important to note that there are different types of DDoS attacks that are intentionally caused by a large number of requests and can cause overload of the data network or server.

Thanks to our DDoS Protection, you can rest easy knowing that your server and data are safe.

L3/L4 Protection:

• Layer 4 (infrastructure) attacks are generally UDP or SYN floods that send a large amount of data to the IP address, which can crash the server behind that address.
• Our DDoS Protection protects your server against layer 4 attacks using permanent or dynamic filtering. Here are the recommended IP address ranges for your game servers:
• 2300-2400: DayZ and Arma 3, as well as Arma 3 Query
• 5761-5794 : Atlas
• 7000-8999: Generic games
• 9000-9999 : Teamspeak
• 12800-13100 : Hurtworld
• 19132 : Minecraft Pocket Edition
• 22000-22020 : Rage-MP / MTA
• 22126 : Rage-MP / MTA
• 23000-23200 : Battlefield
• 27000-28000: All Source Engine/Query games such as Counter Strike 1.6, Counter Strike Source, Counter Strike GO, The Ship, Garrys Mod, Nuclear Dawn, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Starbound, Space Engineers, 7 Days to Die, Rust, Quake Live, ARK: Survival Evolved, Valheim, Mordhau
• 30100-30200 : GTA RP
• 36123-36128 : Stormworks
• TCP connections are only possible if a TCP SYN or SYN-ACK packet has been sent and accepted beforehand. Filters behave like an asynchronous dynamic firewall for server applications. Establishing a first connection (SYN or SYN-ACK) can take much longer or be interrupted for the first time, and websites may load a little slower.

L7 Protection:

• Compared to the past, current DDoS attacks often target the upper layer, namely Layer 7. This layer corresponds to the application layer and is used to provide functions to applications and is responsible for the input and output of data.
• Layer 7 attacks specifically target protocols associated with Layer 7, such as Telnet, FTP, NNTP, HTTP, or SMTP.
• Compared to other DDoS attacks, Layer 7 attacks require much less bandwidth and packets to disrupt services. A low-level protocol attack such as SYN flood requires a large number of packets to carry out an effective DDoS attack, whereas a Layer 7 attack only needs a finite number of packets to carry out a large DDoS attack.
• HTTP flooding is the most common type of Layer 7 attack. This involves sending an HTTP request to the targeted server, using significant resources. While the number of packets is limited, they fully utilize all server resources and result in a denial of service.
